Can only imagine the incredible wasteful cost of all of this. And it achieved nothing apart from bragging rights for beating the Soviets to the moon. Imagine what could have been achieved had they spent all of those finances, technology and energy on improving our life here on earth.

Incredible structural and propellant engineering. Even if the rocket was never launched, without the technology developed by the 1000's of contractors, would have left us in the dark ages of iron and steam. The mathematics of navigation went from soup cans drug behind ships in water, to autonomous sensor driven micro electronics. Trillions were spent on the Great Society Programs, and we still have people camped on sidewalks.

I think that's a legitimate argument. It is worthy of a fair discussion. The Soviets were beating us badly in the space race. They were using that technological success to persuade third world leaders that their way (Communism) was superior to ours (Capitalism.) The Soviets had the first spacecraft in orbit, the first human in orbit, and the first women in orbit. Meanwhile, our rockets were blowing up on the launchpads. President Kennedy asked NASA what's the one thing we could do that the Soviets could not. The answer: Go to the moon. The rest is history. The U.S. was the undisputed superpower after WWII, but with stalemate in Korea and failure in Vietnam, that image was fading. After the moon landings, there was no more doubt throughout the world. I'm one who believes there was an immense payback in world influence (and peace for many decades...) Also, Neil DeGrasse Tyson likes to point out that the famous "Earthrise" photo taken by Bill Anders on Apollo 8, had an irreversible profound effect on how humans viewed Planet Earth. That photo gave birth to the first conservation and ecology movements, and later, legislation. However, I do wonder why we're going back.

@@_MaxHeadroom_ There was only one reason to pressurize to sea level and above that capsule with pure oxygen, and that was to shut up Gus Grissom. Keep in mind that the apollo fairy tale narrative had astronots breathing 5psi and under of pure O2 for days and weeks at a time - something that there is ZERO independent evidence of humans being able to do. The below explains what happens when breathing under low pressure (not enough atmospheric pressure .... like a fish out of water): High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) can occur even when someone is breathing 100% oxygen at high altitudes because of reduced oxygen consumption. This is due to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), which is an excessive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) caused by hypoxia. This constriction of blood vessels in the lungs increases pressure, causing fluid to leak into the lung tissues and air sacs (alveoli). This damage to the blood-gas barrier increases capillary permeability, which leads to non-uniform pulmonary edema that impairs oxygen transport.

"Block 1" and block 2 spacecraft are mentioned repeatedly. IIRC block 1 was LEO and block 2 was lunar mission hardware. After the crew compartment fire tragedy only the block 2 concept was carried forward. I've never found any reasoning behind having 2 "blocks."
@frankbrockler Жыл бұрын
I can think of 2 reasons for 2 blocks. First. Apollo was conceived before the goal of a lunar mission has been established. Apollo was originally going to be an all-purpose spacecraft as a follow-on to Mercury with missions primarily to low-Earth orbit. No rendezvous, no docking, and no trans-lunar navigation--at least not until much later on. So the first version would not include any of the required hardware. Designs were drawn up and metal was bent. This became Block I. Then the lunar mission was announced, and that required many design changes. Was it too late to include these changes in Block 1? Probably. If so, these changes would lead to a new version of the spacecraft, Block II. If not, I submit my 2nd reason for 2 blocks. The original method for going the moon called for the Apollo command and service modules to land on the moon atop a large landing stage. There would be no lunar module and thus no docking. The method of Lunar Orbit Rendezvous (LOR), which required docking with the LM, wasn't chosen until 1962. By then, much of the Block I hardware had already been built. Why not complete it and flight test it while the massive changes required for LOR were designed and built? This new design would be Block II. Lessons learned while flying Block I could be incorporated into Block II. Block II became the top priority, and work on it was accelerated. This coupled with delays in launching Block I allowed Block II to almost catch up. Then the Apollo I fire occurred, and it became obvious that Block II would be ready before fixes to Block I could be implemented. Just implement the changes in Block II and fly it. Block I was used for unmanned testing of the Saturn V rocket while Block II was being modified.

At one time it was thought that 5 Saturn Vs might be under preparation at once, with 3 launching pads 39A,B,C in constant use. In fact the budget was busted by the Vietnam War in 1967, and later, under the Nixon administration, that got much worse.
